Really, I did.

But then I got that thing in the mail about my restraining order, and I’d gotten angry all over again.

One day a few months ago, I’d woken up to a huge firestorm of social media posts about Taite DeRosa filing a restraining order against a ‘deranged fan’ and dove into the posts. Only to find out that the ‘deranged fan’ was none other than myself.

I’d tried to be the bigger person.

But then dear old Taite had gotten a girlfriend that he was ‘so in love with’ and I couldn’t stop myself.

I couldn’t allow him to be happy while my best friend was rotting in a cold grave on the edge of the city.

It’d started out pretty tame on my end.

After confronting Taite in that club, I’d gone home and drugged myself with NyQuil to go to sleep.

I’d been absolutely exhausted when I’d woken up, but the first thought in my mind was ‘time to start operation payback.’

From there, it’d started out with little things. Little things that were nothing more than an inconvenience.

Eventually, I got tired of spending all my extra time on the asshole, and I told myself that I was done.

I’d even put Kaylee on the back burner.

Then I’d gotten the restraining order.

A restraining order based on zero evidence against me that I now had to follow or would wind up in jail.

Truthfully, I shouldn’t even be here tonight.

Really, I knew I shouldn’t.

But I was just so freakin’ angry.

Angry about Keda.

Angry that the asshole had gotten a restraining order on me when the fucker hadn’t even provided evidence of my stalking. And I knew he didn’t know it was for sure me. Sure, he guessed. And he was right. But that didn’t mean he could just pop out a restraining order and be awarded it. There were laws and procedures for a reason.

But apparently, Taite didn’t have to follow the law.

He was above it.

Which was why I was here tonight.

Tonight, I was going to take the woman he loved.

I’d done my research.

Which was partially in the text I’d sent to her two minutes ago, and then told her where to meet me if she wanted more.

It was just my luck that she’d come tonight.

I had a burning need to set Taite’s world on fire, and I was going to do that starting with his girlfriend.

Last week, I’d read an article about Alana Eldorado and Taite DeRosa getting so serious that they were ‘trying to have kids immediately.’ In the article, they’d talked about their struggles to get pregnant, and how they’d tried and failed to get pregnant for over six months.

Which had been curious to me, because in the article, they’d talked about Taite’s infertility.

Which had been a huge ass lie. Just last month, Kaylee had sent me some news article about how Taite had gotten a girl pregnant in high school, and immediately upon turning eighteen he’d gotten a vasectomy.
